Alvaro Cardenas is Boise State’s engine: elite assist rate, steady two-way impact
In the 2024-25 season, Cardenas emerged as Boise State’s primary playmaker, averaging 11.5 points, 6.9 assists, and 1.4 steals while starting all 37 games and setting the program’s single-season assist record. He is a classic lead guard who creates for others, protects the ball well enough to keep an offense organized, and brings real defensive edge with active hands and strong on-ball pressure. His fit is strongest with teams that want a veteran table-setter who can run the offense, compete every possession, and elevate teammates without needing the spotlight.
